I always assumed that the US “I could are less” was an abbreviation of “like (as if) I could care less” as opposed to the British “I couldn’t care less”. Even if that’s not the case I hate the assumption British people make that Americanisms are wrong. As if, (ZING) every convoluted evolutionary turn of modern British English has been unimpeachably educated and logically sound.

Yep, this boils my piss too. Especially as the correct form has the added bonus of a rhyme in it.
